Kendrick Lamar Performs ‘Not Like Us’ In Drake’s Hometown

Toronto, Canada – 

Kendrick Lamar performed in Drake‘s hometown of Toronto for the first time since the beginning of their beef last year and did not pull any punches.

Taking his and SZA‘s Grand Central Tour to the Canadian city for the first of two nights, Kendrick did not save any special treatment for Drake nor make any changes to his set.

K. Dot performed now infamous diss track “Not Like Us” to a rapturous reception inside the Rogers Centre with fans vocally chanting for an encore by the end of the lengthy show.

Drake was originally counter programming the concert with a Kai Cenat livestream but the duo pulled out at the last minute and pushed the event back.

Cenat revealed only yesterday that Drake was going to be joining him on his popular Twitch stream to give away hundreds of thousands of dollars as part of their “Somebody Loves Me” music video challenge.

20 winners of the challenge will receive $15,000 dollars each to help bring their ideas for the video to life.

The livestream was due to take place at exactly the time Lamar would be performing in Toronto.

Drake and Cenat previously invited fans to submit clips that are between 30 seconds and one minute in length that serve as a treatment for a music video for “Somebody Loves Me”.

The ultimately released video will be made up of various fan-directed clips and edited together.

Cenat previously criticized Drake’s video for “Nokia”.

Speaking on his popular Twitch livestream, the internet personality said of the $ome $exy $ongs 4 U standout: “Music video, not a banger. Y’all gotta start letting me direct this shit! I don’t think that’s a song where you gotta use symbolism. ‘Nokia’ is fun, I’m not even hating. But I feel it should have gone like this…”

Cenat then began acting out and directing himself on how he thinks the video should have played out.

After shouting out commands as if he was a director, the energetic streamer appeared to wish that the video was set in an arcade or a carnival as he described a scene involving roller skates.

Nicki Minaj Blasts NFL Over Super Bowl On Lil Wayne Remix

Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne have reunited for their first collaboration in seven years.

Minaj was expected to be on her former Young Money boss’ latest album Tha Carter VI and while she did not make the final tracklist, the duo have hooked up for a remix of “Banned from NO” from the project.

The Trinidad born rapper puts on a NBA heavy verse with references to the ongoing Finals as well as NFL legend turned controversial media personality Shannon Sharpe.

On the track, she raps: “If I send a pic of Shannon you ain’t that Sharpe / Cause you still can’t spell Prague and that’s horrible.”

She also called out the NFL for not selecting Wayne to perform the halftime show at this year’s Super Bowl in Weezy’s home town of New Orleans.

Minaj spat: “NFL, fire some n-ggas and then call us.”

The “Anaconda” rapper has been one of the most vocal critics of the NFL’s decision to overlook Wayne in favor of Kendrick Lamar.

Minaj appeared to specifically blame JAY-Z for the call, slamming him for working with the NFL: “One n-gga took a knee. The other n-gga took the bag. He gon get you ‘n-ggers’ in line every fkng time.”

She continued taking shots, saying that JAY was in business with “the Politicians and the police”: “Got everything in the world. Still spiteful & evil,” she wrote. “Disgusting.”

She then directly addressed what she viewed as the root of the issue: that what she called JAY’s “hatred” of her, Drake, and Birdman led to him denying Wayne a showcase he deserved.

“Denying a young black man what he rightfully put into this game for no other reason but your ego,” she wrote. “Your hatred for BIRDMAN, Drake & Nicki got you punishing Lil Wayne?!?!!!”

Lil Wayne himself admitted he was upset that he was not chosen to perform at the Super Bowl.

He said: “That hurt. It hurt a lot. You know what I’m talking about. It hurt a whole lot. I blame myself for not being mentally prepared for a letdown, and for automatically mentally putting myself in that position like somebody told me that was my position. So I blame myself for that.

“But I thought that was nothing better than that spot and that stage and that platform in my city, so it hurt. It hurt a whole lot. But y’all are fucking amazing. It made me feel like shit not getting this opportunity and when I felt like shit, you guys reminded me that I ain’t shit without y’all… and that’s an amazing reality.”
